Canadian Pacific Railway, Building through the mountains

In this video I have taken clips from video Ive filmed over the past 3 years putting them all into one seamless package featuring information on how difficult the build was through the Mountains for Canadian Pacific back in the late 1800s.
This includes building The Spiral Tunnels, The pusher stations, Connaught and Macdonald tunnels and so much more!
This one has ton of information in it and would definitely be educational for those who dont know the challenge they went through.
PLEASE consider donating what it would cost to buy a Blue Ray of this video as it took a lot of time to edit. I originally was not going to make this available to view on KZbin

Unfortunately due to a false copyright claim that KZbin wont revoke because they don’t actually investigate I had to replace a section so here is the replacement version

[@GoogsMindbent]

thats......... well, thats YT for ya.... 🙄

[@darrenoftheNorth]

Get a grip yt. They dont understand they can be replaced. Which part was it? Watched the og 5 times

[@TonyVRailfanning]

@@darrenoftheNorth it was music that I used in the part at Rogers. The music is copyright free by the artist on YT but he scams you taking the revenue claiming after its not

[@darrenoftheNorth]

Thats a shame.

[@mfjaages]

Terrible shame. But I’m glad you replaced it. It a great video

Another very well done video by you. Awesome!

[@TonyVRailfanning]

Thank you!

[@psoon04286]

Hello Tony, just thought I'd let you know that I made a small contribution but it was when your other equally awesome video 'The Grande Cache Subdivision' came on. No matter I guess as long as it got to the correct recipient. Found your video when it was featured on the DJI forums. It's refreshing to watch what some may consider a monotonous video of long trains. Your expert editing of trackside and aerial shots as well as your highly informative narration was totally engrossing.

[@TonyVRailfanning]

Your very welcome! it is my pleasure to make these available to everyone

[@kenstevenson4133]

Great compilation Tony. Your narrative is top shelf.

[@TonyVRailfanning]

Thank you :)

[@TheDirtyRam]

Right on, Tony you have my old CPR blood pumping heart warm and alive again. Another home run, outstanding bro.

[@TonyVRailfanning]

Thank you :)

[@ScottRails]

Amazing video Tony. I'm pretty much using it to plan out my trip to BC/Alberta this summer, lol.

[@TonyVRailfanning]

Thank you very much Scott. Glad you enjoyed it if you have any questions send me a PM.

[@trainmanzach2684]

Great video!

[@TonyVRailfanning]

Thank you!

[@donlevy2010]

Another spectacular, entertaining, and educational video, Tony!

[@TonyVRailfanning]

Thank you very much!

[@hunsbuckel55]

Thank you very much for reuploading this masterpiece Tony, it's one of your most interesting vids at all, in my very humble opinion. 🙂

[@TonyVRailfanning]

You're very welcome

[@johndowner2196]

Excellent video. Your narrative is very informative and educational. How much of the line is double tracked?👍✌️♥️🇨🇦

[@TonyVRailfanning]

Thank you, There is 25miles of double track between Revelstoke and Albert Canyon and then it goes the rest of the way to Donald before double track begins again to Golden. There are sidings along the way in between,

[@LightBear7]

Thanks Tony, well done and I love CPR (CPKC) history.

[@TonyVRailfanning]

Your welcome and thanks

[@dougberry1011]

Tony even though I watched the original, had to watch this one as well. Well done.

[@TonyVRailfanning]

Thank you Doug yeah, I had to make an edit because this guy was claiming it was his and I wasn’t getting any of the ad revenue

[@johnmcgarvie4061]

Who cares about the music. It's video content and the skill of the videographer that counts. Tony-use Smoke on The Water for us old metalheads. Maybe you can use Sabbath's Paranoid also. LOL!

[@areguapiri]

Why do they need hurricane force winds inside the tunnels?

[@TonyVRailfanning]

Because they need to clear the bad air quickly before the next train comes through. It takes 35min to completely refresh the air even with that amount of airflow

[@kirkzevola5004]

Can trains head east on the Mount MacDonald Tunnel? Also how can one access the Mount Macdonald East Portal?

[@TonyVRailfanning]

in certain situations they can run east through the Mac tunnel but its rare. The east portal is access at a turn off on the highway just after crossing Bear creak westbound if you blink you miss it. You can not drive to the entrance you have to park and walk about 1km.

[@williamcarlson5405]

From WC USA, It seems to me that the US and Canada could tunnel bore with one of those Hugh boring machines through the Continental divide once or twice for double track and then both countries could use those tracks and then tracks could be built East and West from there through valleys at more or at decreasing grade to the East or West Coast? So someone just needs to explain to me why that would not be possible? Yes I understand that it would be expensive and would take years but it was done in Switzerland over 15 years or so but now it is done in use and saving millions of Euros in transportation costs?!

[@TonyVRailfanning]

I do agree with you that building through the divide in both countries would be beneficial and yes, cost is a huge factor and unfortunately it cost even more here than it does in European or other countries, because labour costs are so high here.

What a beautiful country we live in. Too bad we have a liberal govt who is possessed to tearing it apart . Hopefully change is coming soon.

[@TonyVRailfanning]

I fully agree!
